The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital, London’s first home for abandoned babies established by Royal Charter in 1739.

A small local museum dedicated to the Foundling Hospital which looked after abandoned infants until the early 20th century. Many poignant exhibits, this was supported by Handel's charitable efforts.

The Foundling Museum is one of London's real hidden treasures. Originally established in 1739 as a hospital which looked after abandoned children, the museum now tells their story
